Product Description

This twenty first installment in the popular LOCK ON series focuses on the Soviet-built Mikoyan MiG-21 MF Fishbed. In service with about 40 different air forces around the world, the MiG-21 Fishbed reached an astonishing production level of some 7500, supplying the Warsaw Pact and its allies with what became the standard military fighter aircraft of its time. Stunning full color photography captures such details as cockpit, landing gear, avionics, radar, internal cannon, external weapons and pylons, speed brakes, ejection seat, engine, parabrake housing, ground service equipment, pilots, mechanics, and much more of this enigmatic aircraft. This book provides a very rare and in-depth view of this cold war veteran, and belongs in the collections of scale modelers, aviation enthusiasts, and cold war veterans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pictures Only, November 22, 2006

By	JAMES HILLWIG "J. Hillwig" (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great pictures, but only print in the book are the captions. No trainer variant pictues. A good supplement for a book with detailed MiG-21 information.
